@CobolCapsule Do you see a therapist? If not can you? periods of feeling nothing can be depression. So yes if you have periods of agitation/paranoia and periods of feeling nothing then you probably have a mood disorder.

Yes, I know. All I'm saying is that it is debatable. I think it's not possible, but I could be very, very wrong.
But why I think it's important to debate it is because people who now receive the ASD diagnosis may have schizophrenia and antipsychotics would help them an awful lot, while they may only be offered psychotherapy and what's worse, the therapy addresses issues they don't have (like uncertainty caused by psychosis, not caused by an inability to interpret all nuances of emotional and verbal expressions; sensing too much (subliminal) meaning, not too little).
